2017-02-27initramfs: finish fput() before accessing any binary from initramfsLokesh Vutla
Commit 4a9d4b024a31 ("switch fput to task_work_add") implements a schedule_work() for completing fput(), but did not guarantee calling __fput() after unpacking initramfs. Because of this, there is a possibility that during boot a driver can see ETXTBSY when it tries to load a binary from initramfs as fput() is still pending on that binary. This patch makes sure that fput() is completed after unpacking initramfs and removes the call to flush_delayed_fput() in kernel_init() which happens very late after unpacking initramfs.

This idea came up after the discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated and discussed at lkml[1]. - Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit. The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or would cause a deadlock. Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid off. The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old problems that were hidden before[3][4]. - Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up after a past change.

2017-02-22slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optionalTejun Heo
SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup. Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either. What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the information and control on the a root cache already cover its sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount of overhead by default. This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's default value and defaults to 0.

2017-02-09core: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.hPaul Gortmaker
These files were including module.h for exception table related functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and where possible, avoid all the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile these non-modular files. Note: init/main.c still needs module.h for __init_or_module kernel/extable.c still needs module.h for is_module_text_address ...and so we don't get the benefit of removing module.h from the cpp feed for these two files, unlike the almost universal 1:1 exchange of module.h for extable.h we were able to do in the arch dirs.

2017-02-03kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCsArd Biesheuvel
This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following: - introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS - adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols as references into the .rodata section - making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols by the section index (SHN_ABS) - making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-02-01efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init codeDave Young
Before invoking the arch specific handler, efi_mem_reserve() reserves the given memory region through memblock. efi_bgrt_init() will call efi_mem_reserve() after mm_init(), at which time memblock is dead and should not be used anymore. The EFI BGRT code depends on ACPI initialization to get the BGRT ACPI table, so move parsing of the BGRT table to ACPI early boot code to ensure that efi_mem_reserve() in EFI BGRT code still use memblock safely.

RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT should speed up the boot process by enforcing synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead of synchronize_rcu() during the boot process. There should be no reason why one does not want this and there is no need worry about real time latency at this point. Therefore make it default. Note that users wishing to avoid expediting entirely, for example when bringing up new hardware possibly having flaky IPIs, can use the rcu_normal boot parameter to override boot-time expediting.

2016-12-25mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bitNicholas Piggin
Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active which requires another cacheline load. This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page), and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra wakeup check that will clears the bit. The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages. Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency). This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by 2-3%. Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory operand widths match and cover both bits).

2016-12-09x86/amd: Check for the C1E bug post ACPI subsystem initThomas Gleixner
AMD CPUs affected by the E400 erratum suffer from the issue that the local APIC timer stops when the CPU goes into C1E. Unfortunately there is no way to detect the affected CPUs on early boot. It's only possible to determine the range of possibly affected CPUs from the family/model range. The actual decision whether to enter C1E and thus cause the bug is done by the firmware and we need to detect that case late, after ACPI has been initialized. The current solution is to check in the idle routine whether the CPU is affected by reading the MSR_K8_INT_PENDING_MSG MSR and checking for the K8_INTP_C1E_ACTIVE_MASK bits. If one of the bits is set then the CPU is affected and the system is switched into forced broadcast mode. This is ineffective and on non-affected CPUs every entry to idle does the extra RDMSR. After doing some research it turns out that the bits are visible on the boot CPU right after the ACPI subsystem is initialized in the early boot process. So instead of polling for the bits in the idle loop, add a detection function after acpi_subsystem_init() and check for the MSR bits. If set, then the X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is set on the boot CPU and the TSC is marked unstable when X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC is not set as it will stop in C1E state as well. The switch to broadcast mode cannot be done at this point because the boot CPU still uses HPET as a clockevent device and the local APIC timer is not yet calibrated and installed. The switch to broadcast mode on the affected CPUs needs to be done when the local APIC timer is actually set up. This allows to cleanup the amd_e400_idle() function in the next step.

Couple conflicts resolved here: 1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes to support variable sized rings. 2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip. 3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up and reorganized in 'net-next'. 4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in 'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against tc_skip_sw(). 5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some unrelated changes in 'net-next'. 6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head() bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-11-29Re-enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in a slightly weaker formLinus Torvalds
This enables CONFIG_MODVERSIONS again, but allows for missing symbol CRC information in order to work around the issue that newer binutils versions seem to occasionally drop the CRC on the floor. binutils 2.26 seems to work fine, while binutils 2.27 seems to break MODVERSIONS of symbols that have been defined in assembler files. [ We've had random missing CRC's before - it may be an old problem that just is now reliably triggered with the weak asm symbols and a new version of binutils ] Some day I really do want to remove MODVERSIONS entirely. Sadly, today does not appear to be that day: Debian people apparently do want the option to enable MODVERSIONS to make it easier to have external modules across kernel versions, and this seems to be a fairly minimal fix for the annoying problem.

This patch adds two sets of eBPF program pointers to struct cgroup. One for such that are directly pinned to a cgroup, and one for such that are effective for it. To illustrate the logic behind that, assume the following example cgroup hierarchy. A - B - C \ D - E If only B has a program attached, it will be effective for B, C, D and E. If D then attaches a program itself, that will be effective for both D and E, and the program in B will only affect B and C. Only one program of a given type is effective for a cgroup. Attaching and detaching programs will be done through the bpf(2) syscall. For now, ingress and egress inet socket filtering are the only supported use-cases.

They are: timer_create, timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete, clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm. The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast majority of use cases with very little code.
